New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $1.61 million high/low coupon callable yield notes tied to S&P, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 22 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1.61 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Nov. 23, 2012 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if either component falls to or below 65% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur during a quarterly observation period, the coupon will be an annualized 12.5% for that period. If a knock-in event occurs during a quarterly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent quarterly interest period will be 1%. Interest is payable quarterly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either component falls to or below its knock-in level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the worse-performing component, up to a maximum payout of par.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
